Vector Visualization
This simulation helps visualize vector addition and subtraction.
Vector Visualization for class
For WEAK projector systems - classroom usage!
PHY111... vector practice page:
Practice converting polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates and back. Also, practice with vector addition and subtraction.
PHY211 ... vector practice page #1:
Practice converting polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates and back. Also, practice with vector addition and subtraction.
PHY211 ... vector practice page #2:
Tutorial for practicing with cross products and dot products.
Average Velocity:
Visualization of different objects moving at different rates... how do the values of the average velocity compare??
Constant Acceleration Motion:
Simulation of an object that can move with constant acceleration... what kind of motion would be expected?
Relative Motion:
If water moves at 4.0 m/s to the West and your boat travels at 5.0 m/s with respect to the water... which way do you aim the boat to travel due North??
1D Collisions:
Two masses collide...
Inclines and Friction
Rolling, slipping and sliding motion:
Different kinds of motion result when forces are applied in different locations on an object with varying frictions... can you figure out what the lines in the phase diagram represent?
Capacitor Connections:
Connecting capacitors together in series/parallel and in combinations
Resistor Connections:
Connecting resistors together in series/parallel and in combinations
Minkowski Space:
Coordinates for different reference frames and location of events in the space
Collisions and Angular Momentum:
*** This simulation is not complete***... but it should give qualitative understanding of collisions between two objects with and without a fixed pivot.
The Atwood Machine:
For the Atwood Machine experiment.
